Sort of like dental coverage here. Like the time I had a 600 dollar bill for 1/2hr appointment for some fillings. My dentist only charged me 50% because I didn’t have dental coverage. Clearly they are jacking up the price through the dental plans.

Yep. I’ve had a long career with the same company, survived many rounds of layoffs. It’s worked out for me, but there’s no question that if they decide the value I bring is less than the cost to retain me they’d let me go. It’s not a family.

Interesting to see the 12z GFS change to sunny and hot starting July 3rd.

Not sure if it was the case with that fire, but sometimes they can’t get air resources to all of them if there are several dozen new starts from a big lightning event.

It's a very broken system overall, that's for sure. Lots of greed.
